lyrics

Banana Skin
(Edouard Poujaud, Patrice Steinberger - Elephant and Castle)

I don't know why I don't believe in Europe, I guess
That's because of Bosnia and of ancient Yugoslavia
I don't know what I fear
I don't know why but fear I don't know what
I don't know why
Does it sounds just like a lie
Maybe because of the crises
Or just because of the cries
I don't know how I feel
I don't know why but I feel I don't know what

It's a feeling in the air
A banana skin on the stairs
I don't know why

You told me that you'd like a child
But am I not a child ?
You told me one day you could die for me
It was an old teenager's lie

I don't know why
All that I can do is whine
Maybe because now you're leaving
Or just because of the wine
I don't know
How I feel
I don't know why but I drink
I don't know what

It's a feeling in the air
A banana skin on the stair
I don't know why
It's just a feeling in the stairs
A banana skin on the air
I don't know why

You told me that you'd like a child
but am I not a child
You told me one day you could die for me
But till today you're still alive

You told me that you'd like a child
But am I not a child
I told you if you live I'll die
Another old teenager's lie

I don't know why I don't believe in Europe
I bet that's because of Bosnia
Or just because of the wine
'feel like a banana skin
In Europe's bin
I don't know why

about

Elephant and Castle image

Elephant and Castle Paris, France

Born in London at the end of the 80s, the french band E&C had turned the established order of prog rock upside down. They invented an elaborate music, inflated with the energies of Led Zep, Queen or Alice Cooper. The band was compared to such icons as IQ, Rush and Saga. One album (The Green One 1991), one tour, and then it’s over? No way. Two albums (one studio, one live), are released in 2021 ... more
